Which lane should a tractor-trailer drive on the highway?
1 Answers
According to regulations, when a tractor-trailer is towing a disabled vehicle on the highway, the maximum speed should not exceed 60 kilometers per hour, and it should drive in the rightmost slow lane with hazard lights on. More relevant information is as follows: 1. Tractor-trailer: A tractor-trailer is a utility vehicle where the front part (tractor) can be separated from the rear cargo container. It is not limited to towing just one type of cargo container but can tow various types of trailers. It is widely used in the current transportation industry for hauling oversized items. 2. Connection methods: There are two ways to connect a tractor-trailer and a trailer. The first method involves the front half of the trailer resting on the rear section of the tractor-trailer, where the rear axle of the tractor-trailer bears part of the trailer's weight. This is known as a semi-trailer. The second method involves the front end of the trailer being connected to the rear end of the tractor-trailer, where the tractor-trailer only provides forward pulling force without bearing the downward force of the trailer. This is known as a full trailer.
